Blues singer-guitarist Murali Coryell will return to at Roundin' Third Regale in Elmira Heights on Saturday night to mark the release of his latest CD, "Restless Mind."

Coryell was inducted into the New York State Blues Hall Of Fame in 2013, and is a triple-threat blues artist who can sing, write and play guitar. He has been a mainstay touring act at Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago ever since his first album in 1995.

Son of jazz-rock fusion guitar legend Larry Coryell and author/actress Julie Coryell, Murali Coryell grew up surrounded by great music — by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Carlos Santana. Coryell began playing drums at age 8 and continued through junior high school. He started playing guitar after discovering the blues in his early teens.

He took lessons for a while but picked up most of what he learned from listening to the music of other blues guitar greats: early Clapton, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix and Albert King.

The big turning point in Coryell's musical career came at age 15 when he attended the National Guitar Summer Workshop in Connecticut and started playing jazz.

He joined a jazz ensemble at college, studied classical guitar and graduated with a degree in music theory and composition. He founded a soul/blues band, The Ambassadors, in the early 1990s, and it quickly became a regional favorite in New York's Hudson Valley area.

Coryell was signed by the fledgling Big Mo Records label as a solo artist resulting in his Stax/Volt-influenced debut CD, "Eyes Wide Open." In 1999, he recorded "2120" for Marshall Chess' CZYZ label. Since that time he's released several albums including 2003's "Strong As I Need To Be," 2005's "The Future Of Blues," the solo acoustic album "Don't Blame It On Me" in 2007, 2008's "The Same Damn Thing" and 2009's "Sugar Lips" as well as a collaboration with his father, Larry, and brother Julian, "The Coryells" (2000/Chesky Records).

"Restless Mind" features 13 soul-drenched originals plus covers of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" and Lowell Fulson's "Love Her With A Feeling."
